Coaches Hot Seat Ranking

Most are obvious but Saban at #14? Joking because he didn't win another NC and lost to Auburn on a bone head play?

College football 2014: Coaches on the hot seat – College Hotline

Posted on August 26, 2014 by Jon Wilner
The job is on the line for these six …

If someone makes the final cut for the Hotline’s Hot Seat after only two years, then he had two truly awful seasons.
Two coaches listed below fit that description.
(Listed alphabetically.)
Also considered: Arkansas’s Bret Bielema, Cal’s Sonny Dykes, Illinois’ Tim Beckman, Indiana’s Kevin Wilson, Louisville’s Bobby Petrino and Nebraska’s Bo Pelini.


Norm Chow, Hawaii (4-20, two years): As if the record didn’t speak for itself, Chow’s only wins have come against Lamar, South Alabama, Army and UNLV. Like I said above: Truly awful.

Brady Hoke, Michigan (26-13, three years): The problem isn’t the record, it’s the trajectory: Hoke went 11-2 in his first year in Ann Arbor … then 8-5 … then 7-6.

Dana Holgorsen, West Virginia (21-17, three years): The Big 12 has not been kind to the former Oklahoma State playcaller. He’s 6-12 in the Mountaineers’ new league.

Mike London, Virginia (18-31, four years): The difference between coaching in Richmond and Charlottesville is greater than 70 miles, it seems.

Will Muschamp, Florida (22-16, three years): Fresh off a four-win season, Muschamp might need to win 10+ to save his job.

Charlie Weis, Kansas (4-20, two years): Just think how bad the Jayhawks would be if they didn’t have a “decided schematic advantage.”

2014 Coaching Changes/Hot Seats

2014 Coaching Changes/Hot Seats

School - Coach - Replacement

SMU - June Jones - Tom Mason (Interim)

 

[ResLife Hero]

Time for a 2014 thread. One week in June jones retires from SMU.


Dallas-Fort Worth Sports News - News for Dallas, Texas

This is a weird start:

So, when can SMU start the search for a new coach in earnest? I've seen OSU and Clemson's offensive coordinators linked to the position already, but no way either can be contacted in September, right?

 

[ACamp1900]

Very odd timing, something is obviously going on outside of the job for Jones... hope its okay.

I'm not for certain, but yes, I think they can contact whomever they'd like, assuming they go through the proper channels, i.e. contact the AD, head coach first.

I don't think it is like the NFL, who bars current NFL coaches from having contact with teams.

^ This. Was thinking the same thing after seeing their blowout loss Saturday. June Jones is a better coach than that.

 

[tussin]

I've always thought SMU should be a Power 5 program and could be very, very good with the right coach. Hope they find it.

 

[irishog77]

SMU has a relatively small alumni base, the alumni are mainly disinterested/apathetic to the sports program(s), the program/facilities are 2nd rate (maybe not really even 2nd rate), and Dallas is a pro sports town and UT town. Plus, much of their program "history" is ancient (50-70 years ago), and the most recent run of success the program had (30 years ago) led them to the death penalty, so people still kind of equate good SMU football with dirtiness.

SMU seems like they could have a quality program (and I wish they did), but there are many factors actually preventing it from happening. Baylor met some of the criteria listed above, but at least they were able to remain in the Big XII. That helped spur the changes and advancement of the football program we see today. Even if SMU hired the next Art Briles (or Art Briles himself), it would be almost impossible to duplicate the success Baylor currently enjoys.

I think the only appealing thing about Dooley would be the money SMU could save on moving expenses since Dooley is already in Dallas.

SMU has a strong regional alumni base that is obsessed with everything about the school. The last 10 years have seen a resurgence of interest in the sports programs. Obviously, basketball is huge right now because of Larry Brown and his early success. It's rough finding tickets unless you know a season ticket holder. Football games are big business nowadays. It's the place to be seen in Dallas on Saturday because a large portion of the most successful people in Dallas have a connection to the school.

The attitude has been changing, but unfortunately that vibe hasn't traveled far beyond northeast Texas. If the football team showed any consistency in quality, the stigma of the death penalty would stop following them around and creating the stereotype that nobody cares and never will.

Doesn't seem to hurt Michigan. They haven't won a consensus NC since 1948, a fact which never seems to come up on ESPN for some reason.

Wouldn't be surprised to see this guy get a job for next season:

What do you miss most about coaching?

I'm really like a tiger in a cage right now to be honest with you. I'm ready to go. I miss the game time, the smell of the grass. The preparation during the week. Mostly the players and coaches , the comraderie, waking up in the morning with a purpose to win. Being around highly competitive people that want to be the very best. Being able to compete at a high level. it's not just the wins, the tough times going through adversity, it makes you better. I love seeing my team come to work with a smile. with their chest out, enjoying the grind. Just the overall atmosphere of college football. I love being at home with my kids, my wife and my family. I'm very involved with them, it's been special but I can't wait to get back to football. I hope I can do it for a very long time.

Watch Ed O get the Michigan gig...

Watch Ed O get the Michigan gig...

That's fine. Better him than Les or Harbaugh.

 

[Bogtrotter07]

Ed O to LSU to replace Les M who finally caves and takes the UM job for dickety-million dollars, making him the highest paid coach in America.

 

[irishog77]

Watch Ed O get the Michigan gig...

I'd be fine with that-- another fat, bumbling chump who can recruit, but can't coach.

This is really surprising to me. I thought he was pretty well liked and respected.

They never should have canned Shannon imo... Miami was competitive AND won a damn APR title (shared with ND of course... ) under Randy... oh well.

You're getting confused. He's a classy guy with some honor. He's respected by people outside Miami. He's not meeting the games-won, points-scored, stereos stolen, arrests made metrics that Miami fans were used to a few decades back.

This would explain Randy Shannon's firing as well I suppose... how has he not gotten another gig is beyond me.

Les ain't leaving. He's already paid a pretty penny to put one mediocre team on the field. Why would he leave for another?

And the swamp kitties would never hire Ed O. He ain't one of them.

Les is not a good coach and he knows where his bread is buttered. He is not leaving this hotbed of talent that is Louisiana to try and win in Michigan. He can win 10 games a year on talent alone as long as he catches a break or two on fourth down to help dig them out of the hole his play calling and sloppy preparation creates. Nice guy, supposed to be a good recruiter, but I bet anybody with a pulse can recruit at LSU.#bagmen

Doesn't Saban have a clause in his contract that will keep him the highest paid coach in CFB?
